Details:
Hi,
This problem is a little tricky, I'm not sure I understand it fully. However,
the requested change is hopefully sane enough anyway.
We have a package for Octave in pkgsrc, and it seems that our build tools
expect a pre-defined MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM to be used in various places.
This is passed value via --build normally, and is defined in configure as
$host_alias.
The guess used by Octave differs from what we use, and it caused a very tricky
build failure.
for linux, we seem to use x86_64-unknown-linux whereas octave's build guessed
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
See the original discussion here:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2014/03/26/msg019464.html
I'm not sure what value $host has normally.
Thanks.
